Glendale Valley Campground

17 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

In Fallentimber, Pennsylvania, at the edge of the Allegheny Plateau in Clearfield County, Glendale Valley Campground sits two miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park—Pennsylvania's third most visited state park and the protected shoreline of 1,635-acre Glendale Lake with its 26 miles of curving, forested waterfront. The campground's position in the heart of the Alleghenies puts it squarely in the middle of Central Pennsylvania's most rewarding outdoor recreation landscape, where the ridges and valleys of the old coal and timber country have given way to the lakes, trails, and wildlife corridors that make this part of the state genuinely beautiful in every season. Full hookup sites accommodate rigs of all sizes across a gated property that features a recently renovated bathhouse, a new camp store restocked with snacks, firewood, and supplies in 2023, and a modern laundry room added in 2024 reflecting the campground's ongoing investment in facilities. EV charging, a boat ramp providing direct Glendale Lake access, a playground, volleyball courts, gaga ball, and a recreation center complete the main amenity offerings. The property is pet-friendly with plenty of open area for walking dogs, WiFi coverage throughout the grounds, and propane fills available at the camp store. Beach access at Glendale Lake gives guests a sandy waterfront option without leaving the state park corridor. Glendale Lake's 26 miles of forested shoreline define the recreational character of the surrounding region—boating, fishing for bass and panfish, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing on a lake that sits entirely within the state park's protected boundaries, creating the kind of clean, uncrowded freshwater experience that Pennsylvania's more accessible lakes can rarely provide. Over 30 miles of hiking trails in Prince Gallitzin State Park extend through the surrounding Allegheny forest from easy waterfront paths to moderate ridge hikes with panoramic views across the Clearfield County landscape. Mountain biking on the park's trail network adds another dimension for cycling guests who want mileage alongside the lake views. The campground's entertainment calendar runs throughout the summer season with weekend activities that create the social energy guests want without demanding participation: live music and bands, DJs, karaoke, bingo, and the beloved Christmas in July celebration that the campground runs each summer with decorated sites, holiday lights, and the festive atmosphere that has become one of the year's most anticipated events. The surrounding Allegheny highlands offer wine and beer tasting at nearby regional producers, and Clearfield County's dark skies—well away from the light pollution of the Pittsburgh and State College corridors—reward any guest willing to step outside after dark for a look at the Milky Way. Glendale Valley operates seasonally with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when Prince Gallitzin's lake and trail access draws maximum visitation from across Central Pennsylvania. The shoulder seasons—late May through June and September into early October—offer the park's outdoor recreation at its most pleasant temperatures with noticeably lighter crowds on the lake and hiking trails. Reserve your site at Glendale Valley Campground and let Prince Gallitzin's beautiful Allegheny lake country be the setting for your Central Pennsylvania basecamp.

Wading Pines Camping Resort

262 RV Sites, 16 Cabins

Wading Pines Camping Resort in New Jersey's Pine Barrens offers 262 RV sites and 16 cabins along the Wading River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at several amperages join a pool, recreation center, kayak rentals, and pond. Two hundred sixty-two sites span back-in 20/30-amp, back-in 20/30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 20/30/50-amp water-and-electric, back-in 30-amp, and back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 85 feet. Check your tier carefully — several categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site, and the dump station covers the rest. Eighty-five feet is generous for a New Jersey property. Sixteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with kayak rentals opening the river for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A recreation center, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a pond, playground, and dog park fill the grounds, with live music and planned activities through the season. A state park, beaches, an amusement park, a golf course, and wine tasting are all nearby. The Pine Barrens is a million-acre coastal plain wilderness of pitch pine and Atlantic white cedar, tea-colored streams, and rare species found almost nowhere else in the Northeast. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Skyline RV Resort

45 RV Sites

Skyline RV Resort in Darien Center, New York, occupies a position in western New York that puts guests within easy reach of some of the region's strongest attractions — including Six Flags Darien Lake directly nearby, Niagara Falls to the northwest, and Letchworth State Park's dramatic Genesee River gorge to the southeast — while delivering a well-equipped, lakeside campground experience that functions equally as a destination in its own right. The resort's full-hookup sites, two heated pools, and extensive event facilities make it as appealing for families who never leave the property as for those who use it as a staging base for the surrounding region. Full-hookup RV sites with spacious pads accommodate large rigs across the property, with the waterfront location adding a distinctive natural character to an otherwise well-programmed family resort. Two heated swimming pools serve guests through the warm-weather season, covered cornhole courts and an expansive event center provide structured activity space in any weather, and a snack bar, playground, sports courts, and clubhouse fill out a comprehensive amenity lineup. Propane exchange and Wi-Fi throughout make practical needs simple, and the overall infrastructure reflects a resort built to sustain families through multi-day stays with programming variety that reduces the "what do we do now?" friction of family camping. Pets are welcome throughout. The Genesee Country landscape of western New York surrounds the resort with agricultural beauty — rolling farmland, hardwood woodlots, and the characterful terrain of a region that was once the frontier of western New York settlement and has retained a quieter, more pastoral character than the Great Lakes cities further north. Darien Center's position between the Erie Canal corridor and the Finger Lakes wine country places it in a varied landscape with more to explore on multi-day itineraries than most guests initially anticipate. Six Flags Darien Lake, effectively adjacent to the resort, is western New York's largest amusement park with coasters, a waterpark, and the Darien Lake Amphitheater hosting major touring concerts and events through the summer — a combination that makes the resort particularly convenient for families with concert or amusement park plans. Letchworth State Park, about 30 miles south, protects 17 miles of the Genesee River gorge in terrain often called the "Grand Canyon of the East" — the three major waterfalls and canyon overlooks are among the most dramatic natural scenery in the Northeast. Niagara Falls and Buffalo's cultural institutions, about 45 miles northwest, round out a day-trip roster that gives the Darien Center location more regional drawing power than first glance suggests. Skyline RV Resort operates through the New York outdoor season from spring through fall, with summer peak weeks driven largely by Six Flags Darien Lake's operating season and the Darien Lake Amphitheater's concert calendar. Reserve early for concert weekends and the July-August peak, when the combination of pool, nearby amusement park, and the resort's own activity programming keeps it at or near capacity.

Cherry Hill Campground

12 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 33 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Situated directly across the road from Darien Lake Theme Park in Darien Center, New York, Cherry Hill Campground occupies one of the most strategically positioned campsites in western New York—offering lush, shaded tent and cabin sites with immediate proximity to one of the region's most complete family entertainment complexes while maintaining the rustic, natural character that distinguishes a genuine campground experience from a resort parking lot. The campground's tree canopy and open meadow spaces give it a self-contained outdoor character that serves guests equally well whether they spend their days at the theme park across the street or entirely within Cherry Hill's own wooded grounds. Shaded campsites are individually appointed with picnic tables and fire rings, and the campground's cabin inventory provides a covered lodging option for guests who want the campground environment without tent setup. Large open areas on the property support a recreational program built around group games—volleyball nets, horseshoe pits, and tetherball courts give families with children an active outdoor option that functions as a natural complement to the more structured entertainment available at Darien Lake. A general store, firewood sales, clean restrooms and showers, and walking trails through the wooded property round out the on-site amenity picture in a format consistent with the campground's straightforward, nature-first philosophy. Darien Lake Theme Park, located steps from the campground entrance, is western New York's largest amusement park—a full-day family entertainment destination with roller coasters, water park attractions, live music, and a seasonal concert amphitheater that brings major national touring acts to the Genesee County countryside each summer. The geographic positioning of Cherry Hill directly across from the park gates eliminates the transportation logistics that complicate most theme park camping arrangements, letting guests walk to the park in the morning and return to campfire and hammock in the evening without moving their vehicles. Western New York's natural and cultural landscape surrounding the campground provides substantial day-trip depth for guests extending their stay beyond a single-night theme park visit. Letchworth State Park, approximately 30 miles south, protects a 17-mile gorge of the Genesee River with waterfalls, canyon overlooks, and hiking trails that have earned it frequent recognition as one of the most spectacular state parks in the eastern United States. Niagara Falls, accessible within approximately an hour's drive to the northwest, anchors the region's larger tourism circuit alongside the Erie Canal heritage corridor and the craft brewery and wine trail culture of the greater Buffalo metro area. Cherry Hill Campground is open through the summer and early fall outdoor season, aligned with Darien Lake's operating calendar and the peak family camping window in the Genesee County area. The campground's proximity to the theme park makes it the logical choice for families planning multi-day Darien Lake visits, and the open-air campfire culture and wooded site environment offer a natural decompression from the stimulation of a full day at an amusement park. Reservations are recommended for summer holiday weekends and any dates coinciding with major concert events at the Darien Lake amphitheater, when the surrounding accommodation options in western New York fill across all formats.

Atlantic Blueberry RV Park

Pets are welcome. The rural setting amid South Jersey blueberry farms sits between the Jersey Shore's beach communities and the Pinelands National Reserve — close to Atlantic City without being in it. Summer is decisively the season on the Jersey shore, and holiday weekends carry the three-night minimum. Reserve well ahead.
